    Amazon has released Amp, a "live radio app" seen as their version of Clubhouse or TwitterSpaces. It's available in the US for iOS users only in a waitlist; it'll enable you to DJ your own music show (with "tens of millions of licensed songs" they say), and you can take callers, too. Amp's website is live, and you can download the app to join the waitlist (although we're told one code that works is twitter but we suspect it won't work for long). You don't have to use music; you could use the tool for a Clubhouse-like experience too; the app will alert your followers to upcoming shows. Guy Raz is doing a show for it; so is Nicki Minaj.

    Facebook has launched its in-app podcast experience today. To get listed, you need an invite directly from Facebook: and they'll only play in the US. We gather that Buzzsprout, The Joe Budden Podcast, and Jam Street Media were some of those chosen to get podcasts set up on their pages. Facebook's Clubhouse clone, Live Audio Rooms has also launched: that, again, is for the US only, and live rooms are only available on iOS. "Later this summer, we’ll roll out additional features, like captions and the ability to create and share short clips of a podcast," says Fidji Simo, Head of Facebook App.

    Spotify's recently-acquired Clubhouse-like service, Locker Room, is to be called Spotify Greenroom, Daniel Ek announced in the For The Record podcast. “The opportunity in live, just from a consumer standpoint, is how can we create really engaging formats to allow these creators to express themselves and connect with their audience. And we've been watching this space from afar just feeling very, very excited about the potential opportunity.”

    On Clubhouse, and quoted in Recode, Guy Raz says: "If I was starting a podcast today — I wouldn’t start a podcast, I would just come right here [to Clubhouse]." Thankfully, Guy Raz has restored our faith in him by clarifying what he meant on Twitter: "If you just want to broadcast your voice quickly without friction (or production), much easier to just go on Clubhouse than start a podcast. A produced audio show? No. A podcast is still better." Phew.
